  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AadxTHKeBfM&amp;t=1582">26:22</a> you pinpointed exactly when this show became something special. “A lesser show would have had him lunge at Andor” puts perfectly into words why this show is a cut above. Rather than blindly attack Andor, the guard in that moment realized the threat, assessed the situation, took his own life into account, and pled. It was so relatable and humanized him to a degree rarely ever seen in fiction. That actor turned in an unreal performance.

  I read the whole &quot;TELL ME WHAT TO DO, LET&apos;S HERE IT BOSS&quot; as less of a panicked, nervous, confused request and more of a &quot;Oh yeah who&apos;s the little guy now, you were talking mad shit a second ago calling me scrawno, come on, try me, tell me what to do now&quot;. Andor is generally very smart and isn&apos;t one to mouth off, in fact he often lets others take credit for his words and ideas in order to keep his head down, but its totally realistic that someone who has been pissed off by these two dickheads (who may have contributed to ruining his investigation into his sister) being at his mercy and on the ground, would be satisfying and this is him articulating that.

  Ironically by not really feeling &quot;Star Wars&quot;, Andor ends up feeling far more faithful to the world that&apos;s been established for the past thirty plus years.

  I’m such a fan of these Andor breakdowns. What a fantastic show. <br><br>This introduction to Andor calls us back to his introduction in Rogue One as someone who is willing to get dirty when the situation calls for it. It shows us he is a morally gray character even if we might agree with his use of self-defense in this scene. This scene also shows us that this show is going to ask difficult questions about how far these characters are willing to go, and that’s a thread throughout the rest of the show.

  &quot;You pay at the end...&quot; could also be interpreted as foreshadowing of Andor&apos;s eventual fate at the end of Rogue One, in addition to illustrating that he&apos;s not a regular in this establishment.

  Regarding the 300 credit bribe, I don&apos;t think Andor had that money. It was a desperation move to try to distract them.

  I really enjoy your analysis! Please do more Andor/other SW shows comparison 🙏<br><br>A little side note: when Andor screams at the guard “Tell me what to do” he is being angry and sarcastic, because he says also: “Let’s hear it, boss!” He means something like “now when I hold the gun, you wouldn’t order me, would ya?”

  Your breakdown of the opening scene of Andor is great! But more than just the points you&apos;ve made about dialogue, character, etc, <b>thematically</b> the opening sequence also is entirely and cleverly on point: Cassian is put in a situation where there are no good options for him, and in fact the best option appears to be violent resistance. Isn&apos;t that more or less the whole show? And the writers set that up from the very opening scene. So so good.

  Droids that have tactical nuke-level bombs attached to them totally lost me

  Pretty sure Andor didn&apos;t have 300 credits. He was bluffing about it.
